Shirakami Fubuki Tests Sakura Miko, Ookami Mio and Oozora Subaru on Three Clumsiness Theories
The Hololive trio worked through a flag-raising game, a color-and-word challenge and a face-to-face word wolf game, with a foot-stepping penalty for mistakes.
HOLOLIVE — Hololive’s Shirakami Fubuki spent an hour on Monday putting Sakura Miko, Ookami Mio and Oozora Subaru through three tests meant to confirm their reputation for scatterbrained slips. The stream, billed with the tag #ド珍組 (roughly, the “dochin” bunch), was recorded in person with all four in the same room.
Fubuki opened by reading out past blunders attributed to the guests, among them mistaking 5 for an even number, throwing a fire extinguisher into a blaze in a game and cracking chopsticks while trying to cut a cake. She then announced three theories to verify. The first held that the trio were hopeless at a red-and-white flag-raising game. After a practice round in which the flag instructions kept tangling them up, the group concluded the theory held, and the mistakes earned them a penalty of idol-style foot steps, five to the left and right.
The second test, a color-and-word challenge, asked each guest to read out color names printed in clashing colors, first answering with the word and then with the ink color. Participants stumbled, and one said she had made a dangerous mistake. Fubuki noted that only 30 minutes had passed when the test ended, saying she had already shortened the opening because they were worse than expected.
The last test was a face-to-face word wolf game over three rounds. Each player gave short hints about a shared topic while one of them held a different word, marked for that player with a red line. Topics included hamburgers against sandwiches in the second round. In the third, Miko, who held yakisoba while the others had a different dish, was picked by a majority of the players, and the group declared the theory that a wolf is exposed when playing face to face proven.
Chat was busiest early, with 1,231 messages in the minute starting at 6:00 as the first blunders were read out. Viewers were active again as the flag test began and as the stream wrapped up at about the one-hour mark, when one participant said her head had overheated and chat joked about a cooling fan. The four closed with a group pose for the farewell.
